Anyone tried these sealsavers?

Anyone tried these sealsavers? They look like a good replacement if not and upgrade from the stock fork bellows. I assume they work even better than the bellows since the vent holes in the bellows allow trash to get inside.

I hated mine and use the plastic boot again. My seal savers did collect dirt and cleaning them out was a PITA. I much prefer the function of my plastic accordions.

I thought they looked great and that's why I bought them for all my bikes. And they did look good.

I have some short black ones brand new in the package I will sell real cheap - you pay half retail and the shipping up to $5 (it will be much less).

PM me.

Ive got the full length ones on mine. I have upside down forks, and for some reason, they are prone to go through fork seals. Since i put these on, NO problems! I just pressure wash them with the rest of the bike, Not aiming at the seals! I love em!!!!!!!

Yeah, on right side ups, id stick with the (accordians). I have seen them on right side ups, and they did look cool, but they dont work as well.

Tried the short ones on the standard forks and blew out two sets of seals in one season. Went back to the rubber boots.

if you have the standard kdx forks i would use the stock boots. I thought you had kx forks. The rubber boots work the best on the stock forks and they would look much better.
